Back in 1988 NASA finally got to go back into space after the Challenger had blown up over 2 years earlier.  The Space Shuttle Discovery took us back into to space.  After this big success, the Space Coast held a parade and a great celebration.  I was privileged, at the time, to be the Air Force Chaplain assigned to Cape Canaveral, and I also had the privilege of praying a prayer of thanksgiving at this great event. I do not remember the exact words of the prayer, but a part of the prayer went like this: Dear Lord, as we have now overcome many of our past  Challenges,  may we continue to move, as we have this day, to new Discovery's for the future and for the good of humankind. No one recorded this, and I am not sure with all the hoopla that anyone human,  but Dick Hauck the Discovery Commander took note.  He said, "That is a right on prayer Chaplain."  That made me think.  "What is a right on prayer?"  Well this was ...

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 SoJourner 

Romans 8:28 & 29 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to HIS purpose.   29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Okay.  So let's get this straight:  Many Christ Followers call this "Holy Week."  And as I think about it, this week called "Holy"  had a whole lot of bad things happening rapidly.  And they happened to the best man who ever lived... They happened to Jesus.  It's hard to imagine anyone having a more horrible, terrible, very bad and or no good week...seriously.  Yet he suffered through it all, and in the end, a HUGE miracle occurred... Jesus conquered Hell, Death and the grave!!!  And the great blessings of all time came, not out of good things happening to good people, but they came out of bad things happening to good people. So I wa...

You Are Always On God's Mind How intimate are the thoughts you think about me, O LORD, how vast is the total sum of them? If I could count them, they would outnumber all the grains of sand. Through out this ole blog as I have written about intimacy with God, I have not said a lot because this Psalm 139 is fairly self explanatory.  BUT there is something P-R-O-F-O-U-N-D being said here... meaning I feel the need for a brief reflection. Did you hear what this Psalmist said?  He said the thoughts that God thinks about you, me and all three out number the grains of sand.  Say What?  Now that is powerful. Check this out.  Next time you find a sandy space go take a teaspoon with you.  Dig it in the sand.  Then wet your finger tip, and touch your finger tip to the sand.  Try just counting the grains of sand on your finger tip.  Once you have counted ALL that sand in one teaspoon do it again.  I doubt you will get past...
